Saeed Khatibzadeh, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, apparently took offence when Minister François-Philippe Champagne said recently that Canada will hold the Iranian "regime" to account. "I am so ... sorry that the Canadian nation must witness such literature from such a foreign minister," said Khatibzadeh in Farsi today from Tehran. Saeed Khatibzadeh, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, called Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs "impolite" in Tehran on Monday. The Canadian government announced this month it's also creating its own forensics and assessment team to "collect, organize and analyze all available information, evidence and intelligence" from Flight PS752. The second round of talks between Ukraine and Iran on Flight PS752 is underway in Iran.
